You can report the scammer to a couple different state or federal agencies.
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).

A VPN, or a Virtual Private Network, is a great tool to protect your privacy and security while you use the internet. Whether you’re at home or using public Wi-Fi while traveling, the best combine great pricing with security features and privacy guarantees that make them worth your trust.
Received similar email after posting CL ad. He’s still up to scamming! Don’t respond.
Seeing as how these almost all have the same format of asking to be able to send you a cashiers check, it seems the best way to prevent this is to make it very expensive for them.
To that end, I have taken to giving them fake addresses to send the check to so they have to pay for the overnight mail and then I ignore them after that.
